Ingredients

20 Ounces Frozen Broccoli Spears Thawed
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
¼ Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Alfredo Sauce
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
½ Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
2 Cups Leftover Turkey Cooked and Chopped
1 ¼ Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Finely Shredded
1 Cup Garlic Seasoned Croutons Crushed

Instructions

Preheat & Prepare Pan. Preheat the oven to 400°F/204°C. Grease a 12" x 8" baking dish with softened butter or baking spray.
Prepare Broccoli. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife slit larger broccoli stalks into halves or thirds. Broccoli stalks tend to be tough, and this will help the broccoli to cook evenly and quickly.
20 Ounces Frozen Broccoli Spears
Layer and Season. Layer the broccoli spears in the casserole dish with the green flower heads facing out, towards the ends of the dish. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and the salt over the broccoli.
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning, ¼ Teaspoon Salt
Make Turkey Mixture. In a large bowl whisk together the Alfredo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice. Fold in the leftover turkey and shredded sharp cheddar cheese and mix well.
2 Cups Alfredo Sauce, 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice, ½ Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 Cups Leftover Turkey, 1 ¼ Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Top Broccoli. Spoon the creamy turkey mixture into the center of the casserole dish, covering only the stalks of the broccoli. You can cover the flower heads of the broccoli, but I like to leave them peeking out.
Croutons & Bake. Sprinkle the crushed croutons over the turkey mixture. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake at 400 for 50 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and bubbly on top. Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

How to Make a Tuscan Turkey Divan Casserole in Advance

Use a tempered glass or metal casserole dish. Make the Tuscan Turkey Divan casserole up to the point of baking it and place the aluminum foil-covered casserole in the freezer for up to 14 days or the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Always thaw a frozen Tuscan Turkey Divan casserole in the refrigerator before baking it. Place the frozen casserole in the refrigerator and allow at least 12 hours for it to thaw.

When you are ready to bake the casserole add an additional 15 to 20 minutes of bake time to compensate for the coldness of the refrigerated casserole.
